oase AquaOxy Air Pump

Product Information

The AquaOxy is a water gardening product available in three different models: 2500, 5000, and 7500. It is designed to provide aeration for ponds or water features. The product is equipped with a power plug, air outlet, hose nozzle, and a rubber adapter with two hose clamps. It is important to note that the unit carries hazardous electric voltage and should not be installed immediately adjacent to water to avoid the risk of injuries or death by electrocution. The unit should be installed in a flood-protected position at a minimum distance of 6.6 ft (2 m) from the water.

When using the AquaOxy, it is recommended to ensure that no water is flowing into the unit through the hoses as this can cause damage. Additionally, if the unit is switched off at intervals (e.g., via a timer) for several hours at a time, condensate may form on the inside, potentially damaging the unit. For interval operation, it is advised to install the unit in an enclosed space at room temperature.

It is normal for the metal components inside the unit to corrode at high humidity levels, but this does not affect the product’s functionality and is not covered under the guarantee or warranty.

Product Usage Instructions

Before reaching into the water or performing any maintenance, disconnect all electrical units connected to the power supply to prevent the risk of injuries or electrocution.
This product can be used by children aged 8 and above or individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities if they are supervised or have been instructed on how to use the unit safely. Children should not play with the unit and should only carry out cleaning and user maintenance under supervision.
To switch the AquaOxy on or off, refer to the detailed operating manual available for download as a PDF from the website www.oase.com/manual.
During installation, ensure that the unit is positioned at least 6.6 ft (2 m) away from water to avoid the risk of electrocution.
Do not allow water to flow into the unit through the hoses as it can cause damage.
If using the unit with intervals of operation, such as a timer, install it in an enclosed space at room temperature to prevent condensate formation that may damage the unit.
Under high humidity levels, the metal components inside the unit may corrode. This is a normal occurrence and does not affect the product’s functionality or warranty claims.

Install the the unit in a flood-protected position at a distance of at least 6.6 ft (2 m) from the water.

NOTE

Make sure that no water is flowing into the unit through the hoses as this can damage the unit.

The metal components inside the unit may corrode at high humidity levels. This is a normal occurrence and not a basis for a claim within the framework of the guarantee or warranty.

How to proceed:
 A

Install the unit horizontally on a firm, mud-free surface. Ensure that the unit is securely posi-tioned.
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight as this can cause it to heat up significantly. Use a pro-tective cover if necessary.
The air inlet gap around the perimeter of the lid must not be covered over.
Position the aerator element (accessory) in the desired positions inside the pond.
Lay the air hose so that it is protected from damage and nobody can trip over it.
Keep air hoses as short as possible to optimize the aeration effect. $oase-AquaOxy-Air-Pump-fig- $1$$
